President. I have this to say in support of what the Senator from Kansas has said. and I state it in the presence of the chairman of that committee. that to my knowledge in the State which I in part represent there is need for this appropriation. because there are continually increasing railroad facilities. railroads are being built all the time. and as those roads are built there is necessarily a need for more agents. The amount that is asked by the Senator from Kansas is certainly a very reasonable amount. and is necessary in the new States where railroads. as they are in Kansas and in Texas. are constantly being made and where the population is so rapidly increasing by immigration. in my State at the rate of three hundred thousand a year.
